Trying whole grain brown rice cooked in 50/50coffee (no verm) *Update 12/26*

Cooked a full pack of long grain brown rice by the directions but with 50%water/50%coffee, lightly spooned the rice into 6 9oz glasses, making sure the rice is very airy, and added a layer of verm on top. After covering the jars with alum foil I boiled 3 jars at a time in a pot for around an hour(filled with water 1/2 way up the jars and boiled until no water was left in the pot). As usual I let my jars cool inside of the pot and transfered them directly to my tank and inoculated my jars inside of my tank. My tank is at 84f/75%rh.. I'll add some water and bring the rh up to 85% tomorrow. These are Golden Teachers.. 12/22 update- Myc does seem to like the rice with coffee. Theres a huge white fluff on the side of 1 jar and the others have small spots of myc starting to show. I didnt have enough jars for a different project so i emptied 3 of my 6 jars. 12/26 update- Wow huge growth in only 8 days here are some pics of the fastest jar at 90-95% I believe the other 2 jars are at 50% b/c they had 2 inoc points instead of 4 like the jar below

I tried whole grain brown rice. At first it was nice and sticky, with a good water content. Now, after a week, it seems to have dried out as the mycelium has really hardened up and I dont see any more growth. This is with tyvek in addition to the regular lid with a 1/4 inch hole. I think I may try again with pasta, or try adding some wet verm to maintain moisture. Good luck.

Did you shake your jars Lun4e? If my jars start getting dry I'll raise my humidity over 90% and maybe inject some water with a syringe if that dosent help. I'd think without verm theres not much to hold moisture inside of the jars..

Yeah I shook them - I don't reccomend this as it caused it to form into little balls. I am trying again but this time I'm giving it a go with 1:1:1 cooked spaghetti, cooked brown rice, verm. Hopefully the verm will help with moisture retention, and the spaghetti... well who knows. I'm calling it Vericetti. Let's see if it works .
